Error in Adding Mac Address in WLAN

[mcsteel_ccna]

Hi,

We have multiple wlan's here in our Company.

Im having trouble with  mac addresses which I registered BEFORE via mac filter

and DELETED it after couple of days.

Right now, I need to register this mac addresses again via MAC Filter but error appears below.

ERROR: User name 'xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx' is already used as a Mac Filter.

Need to specify unique MAC Address across Disabled Clients, AP auth,

Management users, Network users and Mac Filters

What can I do to be able to register the mac addresses that already removed to our WLC???

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

There are two spots that a mac filter is added.  You can only have a mac address in only one of these spots.  Verify that it is not in one of these spots.

Thanks,

Scott

Actually im using the 1st one when adding a mac address. But once I ready fill up the requirements to have this mac address to join my WLAN the said ERROR appears...

You need to check the other location to see if the mac address is listed there.

Hi Scott,

I Already did search other locations such as disable clients & AP Policies.. but isn't listed there.

Well when I try to add a mac address that I already have on one of the filters to the other, I get the same error you see.  So maybe on the command line issue the following:

show macfilter summary

show macfilter mesh

Maybe reboot the WLC and try again.

Thanks,

Scott
